“I knew him. I knew Charlie, the real Charlie. Charlie knew the real Candace… Of course, people guessed it correctly when they said, Oh, the person who probably was the intermediary when Trump called about Brigitte was Charlie Kirk. Of course, it was Charlie. They would never send anybody else to call me with anything because they knew that Charlie was a brother to me…”
“There is no Candace without Charlie. We came up in politics together, and so I don't know what else to say, guys, other than a lot of pain right now. I love you, Charlie.”

Regardless or whatever the concerns original supporters may have about Candace’s current direction and phase — she and Charlie came up on the scene together and remained close behind the scenes. Condolences for her grief. Prayers for her to reflect more deeply on how she uses her platform moving forward.
“The Charlie” dance...
the 16:30 mark was terrific....
Thanks for the photo. Every time I see photos like that, I get so sad and teary all over again.
I feel so sorry for all of Charlie’s close friends, his wife, his kids and all of us for what we’ve lost.
And the news this morning is it was another insane tranny-based murder as many of us suspected from the beginning.
Dislike her and always have.
I don’t like Candace as much as I used to. I lost respect for her after she began her “Purity Crusade” of slander against Mrs. Macron, the First Lady of France.
I hardly even expect Candace to express her grief for Charlie Kirk in an appropriate manner. I don’t really know her anymore or understand what her motivations have become.
This event might get her back on track. She needs to remember from whence she came.
She knew Charlie during arguably the most formative time of his journey and rise. So her tribute does set itself apart from most, for that reason alone - and it does get quite personal.
Owens doesn’t mention any of her usual fodder fare, other than to end speculation about who Trump enlisted to contact her re: putting a lid on the Brigitte fiasco. It was “of course” Charlie. He and Candace remained close behind the scenes despite having separate platforms. And his remained the only opinion she’d consider. (Hopefully she’ll eventually oblige and take her platform in a different direction.)
Drop the third-person usage, Candace. For the love of God.
Haters of Israel are dead to me. To hate Israel is to hate God.
^ God doesn’t care for the spirit of hatred as displayed above in general. So maybe pray for her to see the light instead.
How thoughtful.
I don’t like Candace as much as I used to.

I’ll go along with that sentiment but her appearance here has forced me to cut a bunch of slack for a long time.... it was a 2-4 with her putting both Ted Lieu and Jerry Nadler in their place and exposing them as despicable. https://www.c-span.org/clip/house-committee/user-clip-candace-owens-full-response-to-ted-lieu/4791195
I don’t agree with her 100% of the time, but they were friends. Charlie never disavowed her.
I v agree, she has strayed from tje path, but can be brought back through prayer.
What's really amazing is how far she has come. Her education was interrupted and Charlie never went to college, but both were avidly self-taught, very smart, and obviously avoided much of the sewage that would have greeted them if they had gone the conventional uni route. Charlie's understanding of mastering First Principles, combined with his prodigious memory and obvious work ethic, was astounding.
Very much hoping Candace gets herself back on track with the conservative base. This video is a good start. I feel sad for her terrible loss.
Yes it is thoughtful, do not put your trust in Candace Owens.
She is an obvious attention and money seeking jerk.
She’s a looney toon.
She had an enviable friendship with Charlie that I’m sure few others had.
This was obvious because he never disavowed her over her Israel stance.
What was obvious to me was there were some self-proclaimed “friends” who pretended to have been close with Charlie and actually were not.
I don’t dislike Candace.
I can disagree with her but I can’t take away her, obviously, genuine friendship with Charlie.
